The conference module allows you to organise conferences with drupal 4.7. It implements a mechanism to post papers, to manage reviewers and to assign reviews to papers. A paper is an aritrary node whith an attached file and a review is an arbitrary node assigned to a paper. It also takes care for the access permissions to papers and reviews:

1. every author can only see his own paper
   
2. every reviewer can only see his own reviews but download the pdf-files attached to the papers assigned to him
   
3. a manager can see both and create assignments

I wrote a perl-script to build and install the ivtv-drivers, required for tv-cards such like Hauppauge PVR 150. Please take care: this script is an alpha release. I wrote it on my ubuntu linux and it works for me. Post any comments or error-messages here.

The followin packages are required:

• linux-headers-XXX: The headers of your running kernel.

• gcc, make: Tools required for building and compiling.

• module-init-toold: The commandline apps "modprobe" and "rmmod" are used to load the new module.

Just a little detail: do you like the way how the trackback-module displays the trackback-url on your drupal-site? There's a simple way to change this behavior. It requires some little changes in the module-source, but perhaps that will give you an understanding of the programming of drupal-modules...

At first have a look at the trackback.module file, especially on line 261:

$node->body .= theme('box', t('Trackback URL for this post:'), url('trackback/'. $node->nid, NULL, NULL, TRUE));


WhiteWater is a collection of themes showing underwater scenes. The themes are not dominated by the familiar blue, like many aqua themes, but rather by unusual light and white colors. The background photos are taken at the aqua zoo in Düsseldorf. The following themes are available:

The perl script "photo print" prepares JPEG-files for printig them on photopaper. It cuts off the sides of the picture, so that the picture matches the proportions of the photopaper and thus can be printed without white edges. In addition it rotates the picture to make sure it correspond in orientation to the photo paper. Finaly it executes a printing command. The script reqires the perl module Image::Magick to be installed.

Cologne main station is a clear and white theme for WindowMaker. The background shows the roof of the Cologne main station, the photo is taken in the summer 2005.
